I’m running a perl app with its own lean and mean packaging of perl and libs

I took a brief look at what the web has to say on the subject. Overall my
take from that reading is that it’s a mess and a non-trivial task given the
Darwin/BSD origins of OS X, compiler and ‘make’ compatibility issues, differing
compile-time options, etc., etc. Is this a fair assessment or have I missed
something? Anyone have experience doing this?
I don’t want to get many days down into a rat hole only to find that there are
weeks or months left to go.
PS: Commandline + browser user interface app only, no GUI, only extremely
basic linux and shell features.
i haven't done that but darwin and linux are unix like and much much
closer to each other than windows. most all of cpan and perl itself
should compile and run on darwin if it runs on linux. there are plenty
of p5p people who use macs so it should be well supported. just my gut
feeling on this.
i bet some of the concerns are more to the gui side of things and that
isn't an issue in your case.
